Baby stitches

Crocheted Baby Blanket  (pattern Nested Shell stitch)

In this blanket I used 4 skeins of Bernat 5.6 oz yarn, 2 pink 9412, two white.  

If working two strands of yarn together chain 78. And use K crochet hook.


chain 163 stitches if using one strand. And use G size crochet hook.
Or multiples of 6 +1.



Row 1: 2 dc in 4th ch from hook, * skip 2 ch, 1 sc in next ch, skip 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch *. Repeat from * to * until 3 ch remain, skip 2 ch, 1 sc in last ch. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: 2 dc in the first sc, * 1 sc in 3rd dc of 5 dc group, 5 dc in sc *. Repeat from * to *, end row with 1 sc in 3rd chain of previous row, ch 2 turn.
Repeat above row 2 until you have it as long as you want. I like to make a square for a baby.
Finishing:
